Dark Mail Alliance ‘fighting to bring privacy back’ by reinventing email encryption — RT USA

Dark Mail Alliance ‘fighting to bring privacy back’ by reinventing email encryption — RT USA:


 Two US companies that have become symbols for the fight against ongoing National Security Agency surveillance have announced they are building a new kind of secure email service that will encrypt a user’s email, making it nearly impossible to monitor.


Lavabit and Silent Mail both shut down suddenly in August. The news came just two months after the revelation that the NSA is combing through vast quantities of the world’s emails. Both companies opted to close operations rather than grant the intelligence agency access to users’ accounts.
